Protection Crisis by Rochelle Paige

A shy movie star…

Chloe Porter wasn’t prepared for her meteoric rise to fame. Raised by her grandmother after her parents died, her sheltered upbringing is a far cry from the celebrity lifestyle she’s expected to live when she wins an Oscar for her first movie role.

A former Navy SEAL…

The ink on Kael Stewart’s Navy separation papers is barely dry. The last thing he wants to take on is a babysitting job, but he can’t say no when his grandfather asks him for a favor.

And a crazed stalker…

Kael has to find Chloe before he can protect her. Scared for her life, she’s dropped out of sight in the hope that her obsessed fan will lose interest. Sparks fly when he hunts Chloe down, and Kael quickly discovers he has something in common with her stalker—an obsession with the beautiful actress.

Lead to a love worth protecting.

This story is part of the Special Forces Kindle World and there are a variety of authors that have a story that intertwine some of their own characters into Susan Stoker’s Special Forces book characters. So starting off, I like this type of thing. I have no idea why, but I just adore getting so many books in one group, I guess you could call in, and they all release at the same time. So when you love it, you can totally gorge yourself on these alpha men and the women they love. I would say it’s the equivalent of Netflix adding a new season of your favorite show, and knowing you can just settle yourself right in.

In the story from Rochelle Paige, we meet actress Chloe Porter and former Navy SEAL, Kael Stewart. Chloe is on the run because she has a stalker. But no one is really taking her seriously. The police are, but their hands are tied on how much they can actually do to help Chloe. Thus, Kael is enlisted by his grandfather, who is friendly with Chloe’s grandma.

This book does have aspects of instalove, and I do not mind instalove, as long as it makes sense. I, myself, have a hard time buying into instalove when it’s really young characters who really haven’t done anything in life. But when the characters are a few years older, or have had life traumas and events happen, it’s easier for you to understand how someone could look at someone with different eyes and fall in love a bit more quickly. So, for me, Kael and Chloe make sense.

Before Kael even starts his mission to find Chloe for her grandma, we find out that Kael saw Chloe on a magazine cover when he was overseas, and she because his…inspiration, for a lack of better words.

When he finally finds Chloe, they do have instant attraction. The sex, once they do get there, is incredibly hot and steamy. I mean, the part of the country I live is under a heat warning, but I am still confident that this book is the reason all the doors and windows are covered in steam right now.

I really loved both Kael and Chloe in this story. I really enjoyed how Rochelle wrote both characters. It wasn’t cliché, where Choe just runs and then Kael magically finds her and then he is her savior. Chloe is smart. It actually takes Kael some effort to find her and then he teaches her how to protect herself. At the climax of the story, Kael is there to help Chloe, but Chloe is smart and that intelligence is what saves her from being killed by her stalker.

Another piece of this story that just made me love this story more is there is a point where Chloe gets to fangirl for a moment because she meets one of her favorite authors. It’s funny to think of how much we all read but rarely do the characters in the books do a lot of reading themselves (which I get why since if you wanted to read a book about someone reading, you’d just write a story about yourself). So getting to see Chloe have a fangirl moment was super fun and I was beaming when I read that part.

I really enjoyed this story and I already have snagged a few of the others in this special series. I would definitely recommend this book, and the entire series. The reads move fairly quickly, the love is hot and steamy, and the stories just bring pure joy.
